John,
Then we seem to agree that this one cannot be nailed down just yet.
I will be pleased to share my experiences with my divider column once
built. I have the vacuum capacitors (60 units), the large steel tripod base is
built, and the 10 aluminum shield rings have been obtained. All I need is some
time. Hopefully by next summer?
